Formula Zero' is an organization based out of Amsterdam in the Netherlands, founded in 2003. Formula Zero's vision is to demonstrate that zero emissions technology can be both fun and sustainable at the same time. The organization's goal is to use racing as a platform to get people interested in hydrogen fuel cell technology.

In 2005, Formula Zero began construction of the Mark 2, the world's first fully-functional fuel-cell powered go-kart using ultracapacitors for energy storage. On October 26, 2006, the Mark 2 set an official There was an error working with the wiki: Code[1] record of 1/8th of a mile in 11.869 seconds. The Mark 2 was featured on the ‘’Discovery Channel’’ as a part of the FutureCar television series. Formula Zero set a new FIA record with the Mark 2 in September 2007.

Formula Zero, together with top quality partners, started the race for the future by building the world's first fully-functioning hydrogen fuel cell racing kart the Mark 2. The kart only emits water and is especially designed for racing and powerful acceleration.
